Welcome to Life's Work Physical Therapy. We are a small group of highly qualified, passionate, and sincere professionals who've chosen to make a career out of helping our patients succeed.
Our Philosophy
Our approach starts with a simple statement: "do what works."
Though it sounds like common sense, it's surprising how many healthcare practitioners have drifted away from this standard. It's easy to do, with all of the distractions provided by advertisers and other influences, and the empty promise of the elusive panacea.
But there is no panacea. In fact, there's ultimately only one foolproof answer to musculoskeletal problems, and we feel it's best summarized like this:
"Nothing in life worth having comes easy. If you want your life back, then you must commit to working toward it. Life is Work."
We're here to guide you through the process, and to provide you with all of the knowledge and affirmation you need in order to make this philosophy your own on your way to getting better.
Our History
Life's Work was founded by Sandra Stryker in 2001 with the goal of offering an unparalleled level of physical therapy care in an outpatient orthopedic setting.
We have held true to that concept ever since, and thousands of happy, healthy patients would agree.
Our Future
We've become a training center for orthopedic manual physical therapists. Our owner recently became a fellow with the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists. She plans to use this knowledge to train her staff and students to become certified manual physical therapists. Clinical Research continues at Life's Work following the publication of two studies in 2011.
